    "Man" is short for "Human". (Even though a lot of women don't believe it so they can use it as an excuse to say every non-female is sexist and unequal)

    It also refers to the male gender.

    "Woman" refers to the female gender ("Wo" means female and "man" means human = female human)

    Man is an individual male, women is multiple females

    "man " is the generic term for homo sapiens. Woman is gender specific and refers to the female of the species, generally a mature female.
